New Scarlet & Violet Pokemon Gimmighoul Is A Weird Little Dude Who Lives In A Chest

With Scarlet & Violet just under two weeks away from launch, we of course got another Pokemon reveal this week. Gimmighoul is one of the most interesting new additions to the roster yet, coming in two different forms. The Chest form is immobile, and a Ghost-type. Its Roaming form lets it move around — as is said to be so evasive that no one in the Paldea region has caught it. It appears that the Remote form will be a different type, but this is being kept under wraps for now. Gimmighoul will also star in a Scarlet & Violet/ Pokemon Go crossover event in 2023, but we’ll have to wait until after launch for more details on that.

Pokemon Go Community Manager Gets "Violent Threats" Over Temporary Bluetooth Shutdown

Pokemon Go players were frustrated when Bluetooth functionality had to be temporarily taken offline due to a bug. But for some reason, some terrible people in the community decided to harass a community manager over it. It all stemmed from the fact that they said they found the pushback to having Bluetooth temporarily taken down “interesting” which Pokemon fans described as “disrespectful.” So, of course, some of them sent “violent threats” and even claimed to know where they live. Thankfully, they didn’t even know what city they lived in. Bluetooth functionality has since returned.
